Very Important

If you have Voice Mail or a TAD (Telephone Answering Device) and want to keep 
one of your phone numbers dedicated only to fax calls, you must leave the fax machine 
in 

MANUAL

 mode at all times while using the Distinctive Ring feature. Here’s why:  

Manual mode will never pick up a call by itself, since it is «Neutral ».  When the fax 
machine is in this « neutral » mode, the Distinctive Ring feature can be activated. The 
Distinctive Ring feature is actually an answering mode. So, do not activate FAX 
ONLY mode or FAX /TEL mode while using Distinctive Ring; otherwise, the fax 
machine will answer calls for 

all

 the numbers.

Caller ID

The Caller ID feature of this fax machine lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service 
offered by many local telephone companies. After at least two rings, the LCD shows 
the telephone number of your caller (or up to 16 characters of the name, if available). 
Once you pick up the handset the Caller ID information disappears from the LCD, but 
the call information remains stored in the Caller ID memory.

Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local telephone company to 
determine the kind of service available in your area.

Caller ID Log

Your fax machine stores up to 30 of the last Caller IDs received into the fax machine’s 
memory in the Caller ID Log. When the thirty-first call comes in, information about 
the first call is erased. You can print the report or scroll through Caller ID information 
to review those calls made to your fax machine.

CALL PICKUP

transmitted

OUT OF AREA
